Airline Passenger Walked Past Security With a Loaded Gun Magazine (apnews.com)
An airline passenger "passed a security checkpoint with a loaded gun magazine," reports the Associated Press, citing information from an airport duty manager:
Bob Rotiski said the passenger who apparently had visited a shooting range packed a loaded magazine in his carry-on bag. He said an officer identified the magazine during security screening, but the wrong bag was pulled from the line. By that time, the passenger had already left the checkpoint with the bag containing the magazine....
Security lines were closed and flights were temporarily grounded at a San Francisco International Airport terminal...for nearly an hour, and United Airline flights out of Terminal 3 were grounded Saturday morning as TSA officers looked for the passenger.
"Rotiski said the lines reopened after officers located the passenger and brought him back for re-screening."

I'm not surprised that this happened. I am surprised that they actually figured out who it was *before* he got on a plane. That level of competence is a little out of character for the TSA.

It would easily fit in your underwear.
It little behooves the best of us to comment on the rest of us.
It's not theater. TSA takes this stuff very seriously. It's sad people also don't take it seriously.
Imagine the carnage if that guy decided to start throwing cartridges at people!
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
